On Saturday mornings, the view from Hewlett High School’s back parking lot is calm and beautiful. Although serene on the outside, inside the students are busy. The boys’ varsity basketball team is practicing, the girls’ varsity lacrosse team is working out in the weight room, and the robotics clubs is working directly above them in a physics classroom.
Hewlett High students are constantly learning. Behind the scenes, they can be found at school during weekends or attending events. The intensity of winter is definitely not hindering the determination of students who want to be active.
Snow may be on the ground, but spring sports’ teams are gearing up for their seasons. The Winter II season is still underway, with hopes for ending seasons successfully. The varsity wrestling team won its conference for the first time.
The robotics club is still busy after hosting their qualifier in preparation for the NYC/LI regionals on March 1. Bionica, the all-girls team, is competing this weekend at a qualifier in Syosset. The club will also be presenting their robots on Feb. 10 at Ogden Elementary School’s Family STEAM Night. This event has traveled to each school in the district and serves as an event where younger students and parents learn science through fun activities.
Community teenagers are also extremely excited for the opening of the designated area for teens in the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library. The official opening of Teen Spaces on Jan. 29 was long awaited by students and active community members at the library.
